What Are Bath Bombs Made From?

Who doesn’t love bubble baths? They make bath time a blast! You can have fun blowing bubbles into the air, building bubble towers in the tub, even giving yourself a bubble beard. Of course, there are many other ways to make bath time both fun and luxurious. Today’s Wonder of the Day is about one in particular—bath bombs!
What’s so great about bath bombs? Many people enjoy the scents they add to a bath. Most of them also add fun colors to the water, and some even contain flowers or other small aromatics. Some bath bombs also make for bubbly bath water, but most offer a fizzing effect instead.

What makes bath bombs fizz in warm water? It has to do with the chemistry of how they’re made. The ingredients interact with each other and water to produce the effects people expect from these scented spheres.

So, what exactly are bath bombs made from? Many people and companies have their own recipes, but they often include the same basic ingredients: baking soda, citric acid, and cornstarch. These work together to form the bath bomb and make it fizz in water.
Baking soda and citric acid both dissolve easily. When the two interact in water, they produce carbon dioxide. This gas causes the fizzing bubbles you see after dropping a bath bomb in a tub of water. Cornstarch slows this reaction by binding to both baking soda and citric acid. It causes the fizzing to last longer.
Of course, many bath bombs contain more than these three ingredients. Most have dyes and scents that are also released when the bomb dissolves. These produce the colors and aromas that people expect from bath bombs. They may also include oils and epsom salts.

Many companies, such as LUSH, specialize in making unique bath bombs from a variety of ingredients. However, people also enjoy creating their own at home. All you need to get started is the basic ingredients, and colors or scents you want to add, and a bath bomb mold. Everything can be combined and pressed into the mold to make a custom bath bomb.

No bathtub? No problem! Shower bombs are also an option. They’re full of fragrance and fizz just like a bath bomb. When shower bombs meet water, they dissolve into a thick foam that can be used as soap.

How do you like to make bath time more fun? Do you prefer bath bombs or bubbles? Maybe instead you have a favorite type of music to listen to. It can be fun to find your own ways to make this time of day special.

How Do You Freeze Bubbles?

How do you keep yourself entertained on the coldest days of the year? It can be difficult! After all, it’s not like you can just round up your friends for a game of tag in negative-degree temperatures.
If you’re lucky enough to live in a place that gets lots of snow each year, you might have an easier time. Maybe you go sledding or organize a snowball fight. Or maybe, if the temperature gets low enough, you go outside and freeze bubbles!

Have you ever made frozen bubbles or seen pictures of them? If so, you know they can be a beautiful sight. Below the glossy surface, complex ice crystals are observable. Some people even practice freezing bubbles until they can make them form around pine needles or blades of grass.

Have you ever WONDERed how to freeze bubbles? The first step is to get the right mixture of ingredients. Many people have experimented with recipes over the years. Today, most bubble freezing experts recommend some mixture of warm water, corn syrup, dish soap, and sugar.

Each of these ingredients has a special job to do to make the perfect frozen bubbles. The water is for freezing, of course, and the dish soap is for making the actual bubbles. The corn syrup makes the solution thicker, which helps the bubbles last longer. Sugar helps make the ice crystals more apparent.

Once the ingredients are mixed, it’s important to let the solution cool in the freezer. Remove it after about 30 minutes. Then you’re ready to make frozen bubbles—but make sure you dress warmly! The temperature needs to be quite low for this experiment to work.

How cold does it need to be to freeze bubbles? Very cold—frigid, in fact! If you’ll be freezing bubbles outside, the thermometer needs to be at -10° F (-23° C). You should also practice care in choosing your bubble wand.

Some people use a simple metal wand, but others find it’s more fun to use a squeeze bottle and straw. Just fill the bottle with the bubble solution and insert a straw. Place tape over any gaps between the straw and bottle. Then squeeze the bottle and watch the bubbles fly!

Did you know every bubble has three layers? It’s true! When you look at a bubble, you’re seeing a sphere of water surrounded on each side by a layer of soapy water. In frigid weather, the middle layer of water freezes to make the ice crystals you can see in frozen bubbles.

It’s best to freeze bubbles on a day with no wind. This makes it more likely that they’ll freeze before popping. Of course, even a frozen bubble won’t last long. The air inside the bubble can escape through even the smallest crack in the ice. This will cause the frozen bubble to pop.

Have you ever made frozen bubbles? Would you like to? It can be a fun way to enjoy a wintry day and learn about science at the same time!

Easy chocolate tart

Ingredients
For the base
• 350g digestive biscuits
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp plain flour
• 1 tbsp golden syrup
• 125-175g vegan margarine or butter, plus extra for the tin
For the filling
• 2 x 400g cans coconut milk, chilled
• 200g dark chocolate
• 1 tbsp golden syrup
To serve (optional)
• edible silver or gold glitter spray
• raspberries

Method
• STEP 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Crush the biscuits to crumbs in a bowl using the end of a rolling pin or by pulsing in a food processor. Mix in the cocoa powder, flour, syrup and enough vegan margarine or butter to create a dough. Butter a 23cm loose bottom tart tin and press the mixture into the tin.
• STEP 2
Bake in the oven for 10-12 mins, then leave to cool in the tin.
• STEP 3
Meanwhile, make the filling. Open the cans of coconut milk which will have separated with the water at the top and the thick coconut at the bottom. Discard the water (or use it to make a smoothie) and tip the thick coconut into a bowl.
• STEP 4
Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt in the microwave on high in 10-second bursts, stirring in between, or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water until smooth. Add the coconut along with the golden syrup and whisk together, beating hard until there are no lumps of coconut left.
• STEP 5
Pour the filling over the base of the tart and put in the fridge to set for 3-4 hrs, or overnight.
• STEP 6
Spray the tart with edible silver or gold glitter spray, if you like, and serve with raspberries. Will keep in the fridge for three days – it actually tastes even better one or two days after baking.

First look: Carina Nebula

The Carina nebula is a turbulent cloud of gas, dust about 7,600 light-years from here, a birthplace and graveyard for some of the Milky Way’s hottest and most massive stars.

The nebula is home to some of the most luminous and potentially explosive stars in the galaxy. Among them in particular is Eta Carinae, a double star system of which the stormy, primary member is as massive as 200 suns and is five million times the luminosity of the star that fills your daytime sky. Over the years, the primary star has emitted periodic eruptions as it has aged and quaked. At least 20 solar masses of gas and dust have been expelled into the nebula, which have obscured Eta Carinae itself, as well as the other denizens of the nebula.

Infrared radiation can pe*****te dust, so astronomers hope to find out more about the stars being formed in the roiling nebula and about Eta Carinae itself, which seems to be on the road to exploding as a supernova one of these days or centuries.

“It took me awhile to figure out what to call out in this image,” said Amber Straughn, deputy project scientist for the telescope.
Dr. Straughn added that she could not help thinking about the sense of scale in the Webb’s image of the nebula, filled as it is with individual stars with planets of their own.
“We humans really are connected to the universe,” she said. “We’re made out of the same stuff in this landscape.”
